Why can't Ryder be actually mean?
Okay, I was really glad when they said they'll get rid of the paragon-renegade system. It was too extreme, paragon easily got too high-and-mighty, and renegade sometimes turned into genocidal maniac....

Dont be so damn spoiled. Just because some games give you freedom for your playstyle dont expect every game to do so. The more freedom a player has, the more different pathes the storywriter have to cover up to satisfy everybody. Means opposite for the opposite, less freedom, better polished up story.. usually.
my two cents :>
Thing is in pretty much every other Bioware game you can be 'mean' - so its not exactly being 'spoiled' is it...? Overall i love the game, but i do wish the tone was a bit darker and more serious like the og trilogy...
Agree..
For example, here is ME:A choices in a nutshell
Tann : Ryder, you gotta save the day!
The only choices are :
1. Oh my God... I can't wait to save the day!!! YEAH!! (Emotional)
2. I must save the day to earn more respect from you (Logical)
3. Yeah yeah.. suuuuree.. no prob... (Casual)
4. Roger that boss (Professional)
5. Got it, and i love you Tann... (Flirt / Love)
Actually i wanted some answer like "F*ck you Tann... i only do this for your credit, so i can upgrade my sh*ts" (Renegade)
God i miss ME3 soo much

But that's not really true. There may be single isolated instances but in general you can have a pretty antagonistic rapport with both Addison and Tann. My male Ryder tells them off at every conversation.

For example...
And yet, in your example the results are essentially the same.
What I would expect is a retorting option, mean as it may, that had the opposite result, going your own way or not accepting doing whatever was thrown at you. However, that said, plot-tied choices would be murky doing that way, they would have to limit effects to a single one, only adopting harsh language.
All in all, I'm not really bothered by the current situation. My mood and normal social goodness of heart is much akin to that of the Ryders. I would probably wander about doing mostly the same things, helping as much as I could.
Think there is a difference between being a Good Paragon character and a floor mat that's being trampled on. I would very much love to help everyone and be generally nice, that's has been my play style as well, however standing up for oneself doesnt equate being a bad person. Not standing up for oneself and one's father who gave his life to save yours is basically being a wuss. Whilst I can understand a teenager getting a talking down to and not being able to defend himself, I cannot comprehend a Pathfinder, someone that stand up to kett armies being a floor mat walked upon by people like addison, "the angry woman" and some others(depending on your choices at the end of the game).
